4. The Road to McCarthy

From the Richardson Highway take the Edgerton Highway to Chitina where that road ends and the McCarthy Road begins. Though much improved in recent years, National Geographic Magazine once heralded the McCarthy Road as the "worst road in America".

Historic Ma Johnson's Hotel in downtown McCarthy. About 5 miles further down the road from McCarthy is the famous Kennecott Mine, undergoing partial restoration in conjunction with the U.S. Parks Service. For more photos of McCarthy and Kennecott on LateSky.com, please click here.
